We as modelers are collectors. We’re always collecting something related to our awesome hobby, be it RC gear, kits, or the like (you should see my hardware stash, when I go to the hobby store, I usually buy things in multiples). And of course we always have those kits we’ve stashed away for a rainy day. A couple years ago, I received an ASM F7F Tigercat ARF kit. ASM was a line of ARFs distributed by Hobby People and they made some really awesome and unique airplanes (mostly twins). Unfortunately the company no longer exists and the kits are no longer available. But, if you find one at some point listed online, they’re definitely worth a look if the subject aircraft interests you.

As an airplane I love the F7F Tigercat (one of my favorite multi-engine warbirds) and so was absolutely stoked to receive the kit! I promptly collected all of the gear for it but was busy finishing up some other projects and so put it in the que for a later date. Well, that later date didn’t seem to come until a few months back when a friend staying with my folks, who’s always looking for an RC project during his stays, offered to help get the basic assembly done for me on the airplane.

Alright guys, here's the final flight vid from Warbirds & Classics. This OV-10 Bronco was a really nice model and as I understand it, the builder/pilot modeled the airplane he flew in the USAF. Unfortunately it only flew this one time through the weekend and it was in extremely difficult conditions. It took a great deal for the pilot to just land the airplane safely! ... See more

Here are a few pics from the E-flite Cessna 150 flights on Saturday. I'm looking forward to flying the airplane again! Thanks Eric Sacco for manning the camera for me. I'm working on the review now, which will hopefully post in a few weeks. I have our next Kit Bashing installment coming first though. :) Horizon HobbySpektrumRC ... See more
